Eligibility

Recruits 450 No vulnerable population selected. Informed consent is required (signed and dated written informed consent) prior to any study procedures. Optional components (exploratory genetic research and biomarker research) require separate informed consent prior to sample collection. Age-specific consent rules: patients must be ≥18 years (≥19 years in South Korea); for patients enrolled in Japan who are <20 years of age, written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and from his legally acceptable representative..

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form and in the study protocol.\n- Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent form prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.\n- For inclusion in i) the optional exploratory genetic research and ii) the optional biomarker research, patients must fulfil the following criteria: - Provision of informed consent for genetic research prior to collection of sample. - Provision of informed consent for biomarker research prior to collection of sample. If a patient declines to participate in the optional exploratory genetic research or the optional biomarker research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. The patient will not be excluded from other aspects of the study.\n- Patients must be ≥18 years of age (or ≥19 years of age in South Korea) at the time of signing the informed consent form. For patients enrolled in Japan who are <20 years of age, written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and from his legally acceptable representative.\n- Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma.\n- Metastatic status defined as at least 1 documented metastatic lesion on either a bone scan or a CT/MRI scan.\n- First-line mCRPC.\n- Ongoing androgen deprivation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue or bilateral orchiectomy, with serum testosterone <50 ng/dL (<2.0 nmol/L) within 28 days before randomisation. Patients receiving ADT at study entry should continue to do so throughout the study.\n- Candidate for abiraterone therapy with documented evidence of progressive disease.\n- Prior to randomisation, sites must confirm availability of either an archival FFPE tumour tissue sample, or a new biopsy taken during the screening window, which meets the minimum pathology and sample requirements in order to enable HRR status subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint rPFS. If there is not written confirmation of the availability of tumour tissue prior to randomisation, the patient is not eligible for the study.\n- Male patients must use a condom during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of olaparib+abiraterone when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of male patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception (see Appendix I for acceptable methods) if they are of childbearing potential. Male patients should not donate sperm throughout the period of taking olaparib and for 3 months following the last dose of olaparib\n- Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment.\n- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 (see Appendix B), with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks.\n- The participant has, in the opinion of the investigator, a life expectancy of at least 6 months."}

Consent Approach
Signed and dated written informed consent is required prior to any mandatory study-specific procedures. Optional exploratory genetic research and optional biomarker research require separate informed consents prior to sample collection; declining optional components does not exclude participation in the main study. Age-specific consent: participants must be ≥18 years (≥19 in South Korea); for patients enrolled in Japan who are <20 years of age, written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and from his legally acceptable representative. Subject information and informed consent forms are available in multiple country/language versions (e.g. French, Italian, Slovak, Dutch, Czech as provided in the submission documents).
